    He might not have a glass chin. He got up quickly from the knockdown and did not seem hurt. Khan threw lots of punches that missed. Garcia seems more accurate with his punches and has more punching power. He has 18 KO wins in 21 fights and that is a lot more KO wins than Khan had in his first 21 fights. Time and future fights will tell if he is another Khan type fighter or not. Khan actually had a pretty good career overall and is a very rich man.

      Even if he is the next Amir Khan (I don't think he is), what is wrong with that? Khan was in some very exciting fights and beat some quality fighters along the way. Garcia has his flaws but dude is young, fast and has very good power. And more importantly, he WANTS to be great and take on all the top names. What is there to not like?

        Ryan does have his share of flaws, but I am not buying the glass chin moniker. The knockdown by Campbell was an overhand shot on the button as they say and the first time Ryan had ever been knocked down. To his credit, he got up and fought aggressively. Ryan does have a lot of defensive flaws and will be knocked down again unless he makes quick corrections. The knockdowns, if they happen, will be because of poor defense and other mistakes and not because he has some sort of glass chin.
